Cerner Millennium

We use Cerner Millenium for our EHR application. We are a research facility, and we use it as our medical record. It captures demographics, vitals, progress notes,labs, ekgs, consent forms and advance directives.
It is how we share information with clinicians within the facility and outside the facility. It has replaced our paper medical record.

Cerner allows us to access and enter all the information that is needed to take care of the participants.

It is not really geared for the research environment. There was a lot of customization that was needed to tailor it to our needs.
There is turnover with staff in Cerner and when there were some downtimes Cerner staff did not know who to contact at our facility, eventhough the information was shared with them already.

We use Cerner Millennium to support our patient care. It helps us configure printers, phone applications (Cerner Messenger, Voice, Nursing, etc.), and more.
Cerner Millennium allows our administrators to manage user accounts, sync logins with Active Directory, and support healthcare operations. The backend application continues to grow and become more robust over time, constantly adding new features and accessibility options.

Cerner Millennium is well suited for hospitals or physician clinics that employ a large number of people and see a large number of patients. It takes a long time to get a Cerner instance up and running, and the maintenance is constant. It would be less appropriate for smaller clinics or hospital networks (500 or less employees).
